Protesters march on Brisbane hotel where refugees and asylum seekers are being detained

Hundreds of people have rallied outside a hotel in Brisbane where refugees and asylum seekers are being detained., but organisers moved the midday rally to nearby Raymond Park in Kangaroo Point.About 3,000 people had said on social media that they were interested in going to today's protest, but about 200 showed up, and endured a burst of heavy rain.

Dozens of police officers have manned the streets surrounding the park and outside the Kangaroo Point Central Hotel, where the refugees and asylum seekers — totalling about 100 — are being detained.

the funny Australian government uses refugee as a political agenda as they know that majority of Australian don't like new settlers. not a single government has addressed the prime issue in those countries and pulled up their leaders..so timid they are...lol

They could do with a wash. 😣
